ABSTRACT:
A first rigid plastic hood houses the end of the electrical lead comprises a hollow cavity wherein affixed an electricity-conducting cap holding the end of the electrical lead, a circular pawl at the fringe of the hood adaptable to end-to-end couple to the electricity-conducting head of the handle of a second independent electro-acupuncture needle wherein houses the end of the uninsulated, monopolar or bipolar shaft member which terminates in the electricity-conducting plate affixed to the top of the electricity-conducting head of the handle. The tandem irreversible coupling of the hood which is configured to fit the configuration of the head of the handle, to the head of the handle is achieved by a circular pawl at the fringe of the rigid plastic hood irreversibly latch onto the circular ratchet at the fringe of the electricity-conducting head of the second independent needle. Aforementioned coupling also resulted in the tight apposition of the electricity-conducting cap and the electricity-conducting plate for the optimal flow of electrical current from the electrical lead to the shaft of the needle to the tissues of a person or an animal in electroacupuncture. The irreversible coupling compels the disposal of the acupuncture needle and electrical lead after one single use.
